Just wanted to drop in and say hello. I've admired the B-King since it was introduced and rode a buddies a couple years back. I recently sold my Victory Hammer (Awesome Muscle Cruiser) and had an 11 ZX-14R prior to it. I am currently in the market and I am hoping to find a gently ridden B-King. The one thing that bothered me when I drove my buddies was the high pegs with my long inseam. I couldn't imagine any extended rides as my knees didn't fit under the tank. I understand that there are some fixes out there now so that has me intrigued. I looked for a FAQ thread about new buyers but have yet to come across one if it does exist.

Hi and welcome to the forum , I got 2 in lowering pegs on my king and it makes hell of a difference ,doesn't make any difference in the corners as the 2in really comes off the top of the peg and not the bottom,Good luck in your search for your king

Dave- do you have a pic of the 2 inch drop? I found one locally but can't get the guy to return my emails- A bit frustrating!

Went to check it out today and my goodness it is fast- and clean! just under 3700 miles. The length was a huge issue however. I had a hard time using the rear brake because I just couldn't manipulate my ankle the way my leg was wedged between the bottom of the tank and the peg. I had to pull my knee out from under the tank to use the rear brake. Being unfamiliar with the bike didn't help any. That said- I am pretty sure I am going to pull the trigger. I told the seller to give me a couple of days to decide and left him a deposit. I need to do some research on the peg swap!

These folks will sell you exactly what you need: www.knightdesignllc.com/

If you have a long inseam it's probably the best $125.00 you can spend on your bike.

Moose- You will need to adjust the brake and shifter to keep things ergonomically correct. I actually haven't lowered my kings pegs yet but I did on my vfr and it made a world of difference. My legs just fit under the side pods so despite the high pegs I'm pretty comfortable. I've been instructed by my spouse to not buy the pegs for my king yet as she wants to get 'em for me as a birthday gift......
